Summary
AI summaryREADME rewritten with clearer positioning and install configs for major clients.
Full changelog
16 tools, one-command setup, works where Slack's official MCP server doesn't.
Slack's official MCP requires a registered app and admin approval, and doesn't work with Claude Code or GitHub Copilot due to OAuth/DCR incompatibility. This server uses your browser session instead — no app registration, no admin, no OAuth.
What you get
- 16 tools — search, messages, threads, DMs, reactions, unreads, user lookup, send messages. 12 read-only, 4 write-path with MCP safety annotations.
- One-command setup —
npx -y @jtalk22/slack-mcp --setuphandles token extraction and validation. - Works with everything — Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini, Windsurf, and any other stdio MCP client.
- macOS auto-refresh — tokens extracted from Chrome automatically. No manual rotation.
- Hosted HTTP mode — for remote deployments (Cloudflare Worker, VPS, Docker).
What changed from v3.2.5
- README rewritten with clearer positioning and inline install configs for every major client
